The only antibiotic I can see here is the nitrofurantoin (Uribid with nitrofurantoin). That is not that strong of an antibiotic but can work in some cases depending on the bacteria. She should finish the course of antibiotics and if she still has urinary tract pain she can get try taking lots of cranberry juice if she is not diabetic. If she is diabetic she can't drink the juice. Is it possible to find out whether they did further testing on the urine? Does she have a fever?
I have been prescribed nitrofurantoin (macrobid) for a UTI. I have a hard time swallowing pills. Can these be broken up?
Im just very anxious sence my last pregnancy my baby didnt developed he stoped growing at 6 weeks ...well my question is does the medication nitrofurantoin mono mac makes the baby development stop? does it interfear with my pregnancy? do i have anything to worrie about?
short duration course of a basic antibiotic such as nitrofurantoin may be suggested in low grade infection. With the part history of chronic infections, the dose/ duration of the antibiotic may not be irrelevant in the scenario; though in the current situation, treating the primary cause i.e. the fistula may be suggested, to avoid complications.
PS -- I neglected to say that Macrodantin is the brand name of generic nitrofurantoin, which is the name used in the information above.
I would recommend you waiting till your in your second trimester to start exercising cause the baby's so small and fragile any wrong move could cause your body to try to expel the baby but it is safe as long as your body is excepting it & your comfortable don't push yourself to hard or lift to heavy I'm 25 weeks & still work out like a champ every other day
This tube can get blocked due to infections of the throat, which can give lead to a feeling of fullness in the ears. This can also result in infection of the ears. The blocked ears can be opened up by the valsalva maneuver, where air is blown into the cheeks against a closed nostrils, this sometimes helps to open up the tubes. Steam inhalations and warm salt water gargles can help clear the tube. Please consult your family physician.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Hi Paul
I know this was a long time ago, but I feel like I'm experiencing the neurological side effects of nitrofurantoin. It's not just a tingling in my hands, my muscles spasm and tremor in the night time. I am jolted awake sometimes. There's a fuzziness in my head that comes and goes and makes me feel like I'm going to convulse. I'm terrified that this is irreversible.
now, on the 21st may this week my partner had a uti. doc gave her 3 days of nitrofurantoin but it still hasnt gone.
im worried ive infected her with something, but not sure about the timescales.
am i going crazy, i was obssessed that I had gonorhhea until the test came back negative. now im thinking ive caught something else!
she had no symptoms before this week.
I have visited the doctor 3times and the last tested I did. He told I had almost nothing in terms of UTI and in my partner there was an indication that she had UTI, and we were both put on medication, but after the medication, I still feel the pain. We have not been meeting with my partner. And from day one, from the time I started having these pains my partner has never complained of any pains showing of any symptoms related to the infection. How can I go about this, I also did a scrotum scan.
The doctor said the results came back negative and there was a lot of water in my urine. She asked if i could be pregnant, she then ran a pregnancy test the first one came back positive and the second came back negative. She started me on Macrobid and told me to take another test. When reading the leaflet for the home pregnancy test it says antibiotics can effect the resulst so should i take the test or wait till the antibiotics are done.
Since taking the Nitrofurantoin, my back pain comes and goes, jumps in severity, sometimes subtle, sometimes severe, my penis seems a little sore (mainly urethra) and testicle area too. Very mild though. I also get sweats (like a hot flush), shakes, random sharp itches and mild tingling in my hands. Perhaps these are side effects of the medication? I’ve read a few are possible.
As I say, urine samples all appeared normal. All blood tests also show no concern to any bodily functions.
You can sleep on right side as well . You can try doing it now though to get used to it . Later on in pregnancy if you wake up on your back just roll over baby is ok . He or she will most likely make you uncomfortable before anything bad happens your body will signal a response to you most likely . I had thos worry and sometimes I still wake up on my back just get used it your side sleeping now while its still comfortable for you .
I've been told I have a UTI and was given Macrobid/Nitrofurantoin I've taken 3 tablets but I was just curious on if it was okay to take and I've just read up that people have lost their babies days after taking the tablets?!
Has anyone taken these antibiotics and had a healthy pregnancy?!
Normally it is safe thru your whole pregnancy but it would be best to talk to your doctor since you did have spotting! Need to make sure the baby is ok.
I have recently been feeling unwell and have recurring UTI’s and been on Nitrofurantoin. I also take levothyroxine for an under active thyroid.
I recently had a LFT and my ALT was 934. My GGT was 140 and bilirubin 37.
I am having an urgent scan tomorrow but the drs seem at a loss as to what is causing this? Any advice or help?
